BMW INTRODUCES NEW R 1150 GS ADVENTURE BIKE

With the premiere of the R 80 G/S in 1980, BMW established a new market segment — that of the large capacity travel Enduro bikes. Fascinating world trips, spectacular Paris-Dakar victories, amazing customer response: the concept of the 2-cylinder flat twin Enduro with the abbreviation GS became one of the greatest success stories in the history of BMW motorcycles. With the R 1150 GS, launched in September 1999, over 146,000 units have been sold up to September 2001.
